Koffee continues to prove her ever-growing stature on the international music scene after a commanding performance at the Cali Vibes Festival in Long Beach, California on Saturday night.

The Pull Up singer had the massive audience on hand, calling for just that, a pull up of her songs as the diminutive artiste reeled off a slew of hits, much to the delight of the Reggae lovers.

The Toast hitmaker, who recently announced the March 25 date for her debut album ‘Gifted’, gave the patrons a taste of what they could expect from the project in a well-rounded set which, based on crowd response, left them with an appetite for more.

The Grammy-winning artiste was part of an all-star cast of reggae juggernauts listed, which included Sean Paul, Shaggy, Protoje, and Barrington Levy, to name a few.

Sean Paul compelled some of the biggest crowd reactions during his headline set. No misses, it was only hits delivered by Dutty Paul as he created a firestorm of excitement in the Marine Green Park venue.

A feat, which only matched by Mr Boombastic Shaggy, as he needed very little introduction to any of his songs to yield a massive stamp of approval from the thousands on hand.

The performances ensured that day one of the festival set a firm precedence for the second day on Sunday, which will the likes of the Marleys themselves.

The brothers, who recently debuted their tributary track in honour of their father, the Gong Bob Marley, will be among the major pull to anchor the festival to a successful staging.

This Cali Vibes Festival is one of the first sets of major shows lined up for Koffee this year. Last week, she revealed her 24 City North America Tour, as well as dates for her UK in-store appearances.

The West Indies singer is scheduled to set to ‘blaze a fyah’ as part of the Coachella Music Festival lineup this summer.
